**tips**

if cook the Watercress before water is boiling, the soup will taste bitter. that’s why must bring water to boil before adding Watercress

if put many watercress into a slow cooker in the same time, the slow cooker need to spend long time to bring water to boil again. Soup taste bitter

so, use boiling water to heat Watercress separately first. Then, transfer the hot Watercress into slow cooker (water in slow cooker is boiling)

by this method, slow cooker can bring water to boil again in short time. no bitter taste.

Tips:

。。cooking time depend on a variety of Mutton,longer time is needed if this is an old goat。。

。。if this is an old Goat,over 2 hours is needed. If this is a young goat,1.5 hour is enough。。

。。Many Chinese restaurant would like to add “Soya Stick” in this dish.  Soya Stick will absorb most of the taste and fat from mutton sauce and become very tasty. But the side effect is degrading the mutton taste. That is why no “Soya Stick” in this recipe。。
